Performance
Servotronic®
Steering
Servotronic® is speed-dependent power steering in which the amount of
power assist provided is dictated by road speed, providing even more
comfort and convenience for the driver. The amount of power assist is
greatest at low speeds, making it easier to maneuver the car. At higher
speeds, an electronic sensing system gradually reduces the level of
power assist, creating a tighter, more dynamic steering
feel.
3.0 TFSI®
Engines
The
all-aluminum Audi 3.0 liter TFSI® V6 engine benefits from the
combination of FSI direct injection and supercharging to create 280hp.
The impressive 295 lb-ft. torque is generated over a wide range, from
2250 to 4750 RPM, making full power usable at any speed. The four-vane,
Roots-style supercharger makes the 3.0 liter V6 exceptional. The Q7 also
comes with the option of the 3.0 liter TFSI S line® engine, which
delivers 333hp and an impressive 325 lb-ft of torque. To further enhance
handling and ride comfort, significant attention to detail has been
paid to suppressing vibrations at the attachment points along the
steering column. The result is a nearly 100 percent reduction in
steering wheel vibration, offering the driver smoothness at virtually
any speed.
quattro® All-wheel
Drive
Permanent
all-wheel drive systems are not created equal. And they certainly don't
perform that way either. quattro® is essentially a mechanical system
devised around a torque-sensing, self-locking center differential that
shifts torque instantaneously to where it's needed. This means quattro®
is adjusting power between front and rear axles more than a hundred
times a second, ensuring torque is delivered to the wheels where
traction exists.
In normal
driving situations, quattro® distributes the power between each axle by
sending 40 percent to the front wheels and 60 percent to the rear
wheels, enhancing the driving dynamics while maintaining optimum
control. Constantly assessing grip, quattro® helps ensure the best
possible combination of traction and handling regardless of the road
conditions.
Audi adaptive air
Suspension
Audi
adaptive air suspension is an electronically controlled air suspension
system with a continuously adaptive damping system. The system offers a
choice of six different settings: Lift, Offroad, Comfort, Auto, Dynamic
and Cargo - which lowers the rear of the vehicle for easier access. The
system varies the air-spring damping characteristics and rebound
response according to the mode selected and vehicle speed. Vehicle
ride-height is also adjusted according the mode selected. In Comfort
mode a higher ride-height results in greater ground clearance and a more
pliant ride, while a lower ride-height in Dynamic mode creates a lower
center of gravity and additional directional
stability.
Eight-speed Tiptronic
Transmission
The Q7
comes equipped with the eight-speed Tiptronic transmission. Not only
does the transmission add to the sporty experience with purposeful,
smooth shifts, but it also improves fuel economy, responsiveness and
overall driving comfort.
Towing
Capacity
The Q7
towing package offers an outstanding 6,600 lbs. towing capacity as well
as increased cooling capacity, and trailer hitch.
Efficiency
Clean Diesel
Technology
For more
than 20 years, TDI® clean diesel has been the leader in diesel
technology. It's powerful and efficient, and is extremely quiet. In
fact, as a testament to its benefits, vehicles powered by diesel account
for 50 percent of all vehicle sales in Western
Europe.
Its efficiency was
proven in 2008 during the Audi Mileage Marathon. The Audi Q7 TDI® clean
diesel averaged an extraordinary 28 MPG on a cross-country trip from New
York to Los Angeles. By using the most advanced technology of Turbo
Diesel Injection, or TDI® clean diesel, diesel is quickly gaining
popularity in the United States for several good
reasons.
3.0
V6 Offers Power and
Efficiency
With the
potent combination of direct injection and turbocharging, the 3.0 liter
TDI® clean diesel engine delivers an impressive 406 lb-ft. of torque
and produces 225hp. That is the power of a comparable V8 gasoline
engine. Additionally, the TDI® clean diesel provides a range of more
than 600 miles from a full tank that holds 26.4 gallons of
fuel.
Ultra-low Emissions
System
Long gone
are the days of dirty, smoking diesel engines. Audi TDI® clean diesel is
responsible for the cleanest diesel engines in the world, with 20
percent fewer CO2 emissions than comparable gasoline engines, making it
an environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline power. One reason
TDI® clean diesel is so clean is because of the AdBlue technology found
in the TDI® clean diesel exhaust system. AdBlue uses a urea-based
solution that scrubs the exhaust gases and removes 90 percent of the
nitrogen oxides and 20 percent of carbon emissions, making it compliant
with ULEV II BIN 5. The result is a significant reduction in emissions
that contribute to global warming.
Variable Vane Turbine
Technology
TDI®
clean diesel gains its incredible power from a number of innovative
technologies. The turbo itself offers Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG),
which allows more of the power generated by the turbo to be used at
lower engine speeds. That means quicker acceleration
off-the-line.
Exterior
Progressive Design and Coupe-like Roof

standard, second-generation airbags provide an additional measure of
safety. They include front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger
and are designed to help protect the head. Seat-mounted, side-impact
airbags for the front seat occupants are designed to help protect the
thorax in a collision. And the side-curtain airbags offer front and rear
occupants head protection in the event of a side collision or
rollover.
Reacting to rear
collision forces, the head restraints help cradle the occupant's head in
an effort to reduce the likelihood of a whiplash
injury.
Audi parking system plus with Rearview
Camera
The Q7
offers the advanced technology of the Audi parking system. The system
uses front and rear ultrasonic parking sensors to measure the distance
to the nearest object, while intermittent audible tones indicate the
distance to the driver.
ESC
Audi
has always held firm the belief that prevention is the best safety
feature of all. And the Audi Q7 offers an abundance of features designed
to help keep you out of harm's way. For instance, the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) helps make the vehicle easier to control in
handling situations close to the limit. Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) helps keep the vehicle traveling in its intended direction by
utilizing ABS, the traction control of ASR and the electronic brake
force distribution of EBD. ESC senses when the roof rail crossbars are
in use and instantly alerts ESC to compensate for the vehicle's higher
center of gravity. The ESC has a special offroad mode that can be
switched on and off by pressing the "ESC off" switch. This adapts the
ESC, ASR and ABS to offroad driving conditions such as mud, gravel, deep
snow and more.
Advanced Braking
System
Audi has
implemented a number of ingenious features to help maximize braking
effectiveness. In wet conditions, the brake disc wiping system gently
pulses the brakes to help dissipate water buildup. Keeping the discs as
dry as possible helps promote the most effective braking. Additionally,
the brake assist system is able to detect an attempt at full braking and
apply full stopping power when required. The advantage is that braking
distance is significantly
reduced.
High-strength Steel Body with
Energy-absorbing Crumple
Zones
When
prevention isn't enough, the combination of crumple zones and
high-strength steel helps deliver a tremendous level of protection for
the driver and passengers. Crumple zones, at the front and rear of the
vehicle, are designed to help dissipate the energy and force of a
collision by deforming upon impact. The high-strength steel used in and
around the occupant cell is designed to protect the integrity of the
passenger compartment and those within
it.
Audi adaptive cruise
control
This
available system enhances conventional cruise control by monitoring the
distance to the vehicle ahead via radar sensors. The system
automatically reduces or resumes speed to maintain the safe distance
selected by the driver. Should braking be necessary, the system will
automatically return to its preset speed when able. In certain
conditions, the system will even bring the vehicle to a complete
stop.
Audi side
assist
Active at
speeds over 19 MPH, available Audi side assist monitors blind spots and
fast-approaching vehicles at a range of 150 ft. When a vehicle is
present within the monitored area, the system warns you via LED lights
in the exterior mirrors.
